Gerber Fit Pocket Tool Review and Giveaway!!

I'm sure you are all familiar with Gerber Gear. They make all sorts of neat tools, knives and survival gear. I have owned a small Gerber knife for a couple years now, and I clip it onto my waist just about every morning-I never go anywhere without this knife! After experiencing the Gerber quality, I was excited when they sent me a Fit Pocket Tool for review. This is a handy little tool the size of a pocket knife that will be a permanent addition to my purse or bag from now on! This compact multi-tool includes a blade (half fine, half serrated for multiple uses), scissors, tweezers, bottle opener, eye glass screwdriver, large flathead screwdriver, large crosspoint screwdriver, small crosspoint screwdriver, and a light. This is what the tool looks like opened:

And the large screwdriver has a bit with flat on one end, crosspoint on the other:

The light is powered by 1 AAA battery (included when you purchase the Fit Pocket Tool) and is very powerful! Here's an example:

Not bad for a little tool, huh?! As I have come to expect from Gerber, the tool is very well made, and looks like it will last for a long time. There are so many everyday uses for this tool from adjusting somebody's eyeglasses to removing a splinter, or opening a package with the knife blade. And, we are planning some camping and hiking trips this year, and this will come in handy on those!

"Encased in smooth anodized aluminum, the Fit is a handheld 20 Lumen L.E.D. flashlight with folding multitool attachments. Outfitted with long drivers to reach into small spaces that other multitools can't, it includes a locking fine edge and serrated blade, bottle opener, scissors, tweezers and multiple drivers. It’s a compact, standalone flashlight with dozens of other daily uses."
